Issue No. 02Sex: Pleasure, Passion & Progress

In this month’s issue, Sex: Pleasure, Passion & Progress, we collaborate with powerhouse women who are innovating in all areas of the sex space—from sexual medicine to sextech. Pioneers Cindy Whitehead and Cindy Gallop talk to us about smashing ceilings and building trillion-dollar industries, SexTech trailblazer Polly Rodriguez exposes the trials and tribulations of innovating in this industry and Bryony Cole, host of the Future of Sex, explores what's beyond the orgasm.
